ABSTRACT:
A mechanization of a vehicular starter/generator machine having minimal impact on the vehicle powertrain. The powertrain includes an engine connected to drive the vehicle through a fluid torque converter and a power transmission. The rotor of the starter/generator machine is formed on the outer circumference of an input shell of the torque converter, and the stator of the machine is formed on the inner circumference of the torque converter housing. This mechanization affords the use of a relatively high capacity machine without appreciably affecting the powertrain packaging.
